Checked my van Tyres today ready for our next Jolly, Inflated them to correct pressure too, decided I should also check the spare that is under the rear of the van in a cradle, I last looked at it 4 years ago, and greased the bolts that hold the cradle up, all was well but pressure was down to 45 PSI so I put that right, what a job to get the cradle back up again though, it is very heavy with the tyre on it, and there was not much clearance at the back of the van and the ground, a few blocks of wood and a crow bar and I finally was able to get the retaining hooks hooked on and then tightened the bolts after again greasing them, it is not a job I would want to do roadside or in a lay by. I would call the breakdown service if I got a puncture , I am not even sure I would trust the supplied jack either? I thought that an extension on the air inlet [inflation valve ] would be a good idea,then then tyre could be inflated in situ , but that is a job for another Day now ? hee hee.
